Hospital admissions for the virus are approaching a three-month high while the latest data from the Office for National Statistics suggests at least one in 40 people are infected in England.
The ZOE Covid infection survey, which has been monitoring symptomatic cases since the beginning of the outbreak, said that 1.4 million people are infected based on its latest results yesterday, increasing from 1.2 million cases on 10 March - a 25 per cent rise.
According to the ZOE Covid survey figures, which are an estimation, London has the highest number of daily new symptomatic cases with 1643-2157 cases per million.
Meanwhile, according to the data, Northumberland is the worst area currently for Covid cases with an estimated 76,119 active cases per million.
Professor Tim Spector, the epidemiologist behind the ZOE Covid infection survey, said cold weather - which encourages people to mix indoors - and children are driving the rise.
